It's All in the Family

Submitted by Boston Art

I didn't mind it when my only daughter chose to marry a young man of a different religion. It didn't bother me when I learned that he voted the rival political party. But when my daughter walked into the house wearing her betrothed's Yankee cap, it was like a knife had been plunged into my back. I did what any self respecting sox fan would do. I carefully removed the cap and placed it in the kitty litter box where it belongs. Another time, I had my new son in-law's birthday cake inscribed, "Happy birthday Nathan, but the Yankees still suck."

I've tried to be a positive influence on my new grandson by providing him with bibs, pajamas, and outfits with the Red Sox logo. Hopefully, he will be able to overcome the evil pinstriped influence in his life, and chart a straight course.
